Calling all implementors...

The crux of this issue is what S/MIME v2 code will do if it encounters a
version 1 SignedData that contains a SignerInfo with a version other than
1.  Will your implmentation:

        a) fail to parse the ASN.1 and report an error

        b) check the version, skip it, and look for another SignerInfo

        c) die ungracefully
                (if you do not want to admit this publically, please send 
                 private e-mail or use an anonymous service)

Similarly, what will happen if the implementation encounters a version 0
EnvelopedData that contains a RecipientInfo with a version other than 0.
Same three choices.
